ZERO-IN
BARBER OSGERBY
The Zero-In table creates an illusion of weightlessness, with seamless sloping walls at
unexpected angles topped with a glass surface, all supported by hidden feet that create a
shadow gap below the structure.
THE DESIGNER
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their London studio in 1996 after graduating with
Master’s in Architecture from the prestigious Royal College of Art in London. Their diverse
body of work spans industrial design, furniture, lighting and site-specic installations,
as well as gallery and public commissions such as the London 2012 Olympic Torch
and projects for the Royal Mint. Barber Osgerby’s work is held in permanent museum
collections around the world including London’s V&A Museum and Design Museum, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
Established & Sons disclaims any responsibility deriving from incorrect use of the
mentioned object. Do not place very hot or very cold items on the glass surface unless
adequately thick table mats are used to prevent such items from coming into contact with
the glass. Do no sit or stand upon the glass surface. Do not use the glass as a chopping
surface or strike the glass with hard or pointed items. Avoid contact with heat sources.
For major maintenance or repairs, consult the retailer. Once the product or its components
are no longer used, make sure that they are disposed of correctly through the public waste

CLEANING GUIDELINES
Base
Clean the base using a soft non-abrasive cloth. An ideal cleaning product to use is
deionised water (Tap water contains salts that can leave a residue on the surface of the
polyester) with a mild, non-coloured detergent, such as, Ecover Washing Up liquid. To
avoid temporary streaking and residue, dry using a soft cloth.
It is advisable to dust the base with a lint free cloth before applying any cleaning uid.
This will remove any grit that could cause scratches to the surface.
Glass
It is advisable to dust the glass before applying any cleaning uid. This will remove any grit
that could cause scratches to the surface. We recommend using a mild glass cleaner, such
as Ecover and paper/kitchen towel. Always apply the cleaning uid to the paper towel
rst and not directly onto the glass. Do not use washing powders or any other substances
containing abrasives as these will scratch the glass.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please keep these instructions for future reference. Internal Packaging should also be
retained to allow for the removal of glass for cleaning. Glass tested to BS EN12150
WARNING If the glass is chipped or broken, stop using the product and consult the
manufacturer or supplier. Avoid contact with certain solvents, including white spirit,
toluene based products and acetone. Beware of many household cleaning products and
polishes as these may contain potentially damaging solvents.

1. Assemble the internal packaging by slotting them together into
